You in 1980 for as dean of the College 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:17.717 of Liberal Arts at that time before we changed its name and as a full 00:02:17.750 --> 00:02:21.406 professor of political science 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:25.816 louis Olivia's professor emeritus W. P. Carey School of Business 00:02:25.849 --> 00:02:30.767 management department also did a little stint In the office of the provost 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:38.096 for 17 years, working as an assistant VP of Academic affairs. 00:02:38.129 --> 00:02:46.129 I'm Dave Schwan and I came my various positions at MSU included associate 00:02:46.740 --> 00:02:50.307 professor in the department of english in the english department, I was 00:02:50.340 --> 00:02:54.386 director of the freshman compromise and I was vice provost for academic 00:02:54.419 --> 00:02:59.906 affairs at S. U. West and ultimately 00:02:59.939 --> 00:03:05.696 vice provost for academic affairs at the polytechnic campus and sometimes 00:03:05.729 --> 00:03:11.307 dean of East College, sometimes both. 00:03:11.340 --> 00:03:15.307 I was in charge of international student programs at Arizona State 00:03:15.340 --> 00:03:23.340 University. 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:35.240 We come to 9 11 that definitely had an impact. Talk about that. Yes of 00:03:35.419 --> 00:03:41.886 course I had The luck I guess you could call it to retire two months 00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:46.867 before September 11 so we didn't know what was coming. But I remember when 00:03:46.900 --> 00:03:53.117 when I gave my goodbye remark it's my retirement remarks. I did say that 00:03:53.150 --> 00:03:58.767 was in 2001. Well things are going pretty well now everything is calm now 00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:05.346 let's see what comes next. Well September 11 of course what came next and 00:04:05.379 --> 00:04:10.047 it was just a tremendous impact on the international student program. 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:14.566 Number one students couldn't get the visas anymore for a long time. So the 00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:21.077 involvement numbers went down tremendously secondly there was really not 00:04:21.110 --> 00:04:25.416 the friendship and goodwill towards international students, particularly 00:04:25.449 --> 00:04:31.647 those from the Middle East. So I know they worked very very hard to you 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:37.577 know to win their confidence again and they have done that now because the 00:04:37.610 --> 00:04:42.536 student the international student program is alive and well at Arizona 00:04:42.569 --> 00:04:47.337 State University is doing very very well but it was a total shock for 00:04:47.370 --> 00:04:51.856 everyone and if I can tell a little anecdote which seems unbelievable but 00:04:51.889 --> 00:04:55.007 it's actually true. 00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:59.996 I had a student that wanted to see me and he specifically asked for me but 00:05:00.029 --> 00:05:04.536 my staff told me he was not and he was not in our program, he had not been 00:05:04.569 --> 00:05:08.217 admitted yet but he waited and waited. He didn't have an appointment. So 00:05:08.250 --> 00:05:13.796 finally he came in and I remember thinking he wanted to get into computer 00:05:13.829 --> 00:05:16.406 science, 00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:23.176 he was in a flight school in the neighbor in the area here. But you know I 00:05:23.209 --> 00:05:27.926 felt very sorry for him because to me he seemed like a lost sheep because 00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:31.356 he didn't know what to do. He said, he said he was under tremendous 00:05:31.389 --> 00:05:35.996 pressure. Then the second time he came and again he wanted to see me and 00:05:36.029 --> 00:05:40.606 again we had the same discussions but again I couldn't help him because 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:46.806 you know admission was not my area of competence. We didn't admit students. 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:50.627 Well as it turned out I guess you guessed it now he was one of the 00:05:50.660 --> 00:05:56.106 terrorists. But you know he didn't seem like an aggressive 00:05:56.139 --> 00:06:00.106 person you would be afraid of, he was a lost jeep which I thought that was 00:06:00.139 --> 00:06:08.139 interesting 00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:15.207 Craig and Barbara Barrett proposed to Latvian albacore 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.377 ah, 00:06:17.410 --> 00:06:24.986 that they wanted to make a gift. Um, they did not propose it as a naming 00:06:25.019 --> 00:06:32.217 gift. They just wanted to make a gift ah and President Core called me and 00:06:32.250 --> 00:06:37.606 we had a number of different conversations about about 00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:43.527 the gift and what we wanted to do with it. And I had written up a work 00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:51.560 plan for use of the income from the ah, from the gift. Well, um, we had to 00:06:51.779 --> 00:06:59.406 go to the barrettes and convince them that, um, 00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:05.507 convinced them to allow us to use their names for the college. 00:07:05.540 --> 00:07:10.906 And I think it was, it was an extraordinarily important move at the time. 00:07:10.939 --> 00:07:14.957 Uh, it was the last college created, but it was the first college on this 00:07:14.990 --> 00:07:20.406 campus that was named by, by the time 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:27.406 we got the naming endowment, there were, because our architecture was 00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:34.207 Portable. There were 75 university honors colleges in the United States. 00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:41.106 Okay, so now all of a sudden were indistinguishable from all of these 00:07:41.139 --> 00:07:48.806 operations that we've spawned. We really needed name identification and, 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:55.486 and uh, Frankly, I think that the name we got is exactly the right one. 00:07:55.519 --> 00:08:01.096 It's the appropriate one for us. It says all the right things in the first 00:08:01.129 --> 00:08:07.337 place. You know, uh, intel 00:08:07.370 --> 00:08:14.416 is one of the groundbreaking, one of the culture changing organizations Of 00:08:14.449 --> 00:08:20.906 the second half of the 20th century Barbara Barrett has a long, long 00:08:20.939 --> 00:08:27.027 history with the institution. And Barbara Barrett is exactly the kind of 00:08:27.060 --> 00:08:29.606 student 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:36.807 person who's, whose life that makes sense for these students to emulate 00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:41.667 first generation college goers. She had very little in the way of 00:08:41.700 --> 00:08:47.486 resources. When she came. She succeeded at an extraordinary level. So here 00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:53.407 we had in a single package uh 00:08:53.440 --> 00:09:01.307 a role model. We had an advocate for strong education in the country and 00:09:01.340 --> 00:09:09.340 we had the name, a name associated with uh maybe the single most important 00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:16.837 company in terms of culture change Of the second half of the 26. It's 00:09:16.870 --> 00:09:22.837 really important just having the name read a lot of success. Barrett is 00:09:22.870 --> 00:09:30.870 now one of the desirable names for students uh to matriculate 00:09:40.740 --> 00:09:47.807 your friends back east. Give you a hard time about moving the cookie. 00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:54.197 No, because I start by giving myself a hard time and that the flights I I 00:09:54.230 --> 00:10:00.047 tried to make it better for years. I've given a talk every year to the 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:05.016 national convention of the N. A. A. C. P. Legal Defense Fund, which is the 00:10:05.049 --> 00:10:08.846 main civil rights litigating organization. United States Circuit Marshall 00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:14.307 was when the head of that. And I give something summarizing the Supreme 00:10:14.340 --> 00:10:19.136 Court term that was just finished or now what I do is preview the upcoming 00:10:19.169 --> 00:10:24.547 Supreme Court term pam Karlan does the other point of that. And I used to 00:10:24.580 --> 00:10:29.417 love going back there and talking about Governor Megan and all the legal 00:10:29.450 --> 00:10:33.876 problems that I see, you'd never believe this. And so if you do it that 00:10:33.909 --> 00:10:37.626 way, then they can hardly make fun of you because you've already made fun 00:10:37.659 --> 00:10:43.276 of yourself. Um He always gave us something to talk about. I mean, Arizona 00:10:43.309 --> 00:10:46.557 is a really legally and I just think of all the important cases, the 00:10:46.590 --> 00:10:51.417 Supreme Court decided that come from Arizona Miranda is Miranda against 00:10:51.450 --> 00:10:57.396 Arizona. A case involved in juvenile justice came from Arizona Southern 00:10:57.429 --> 00:11:01.947 pacific against area very famous game. And Arizona has been 00:11:01.980 --> 00:11:06.437 overrepresented in the Supreme Court. We it was the time 2/9 of the 00:11:06.470 --> 00:11:09.886 Supreme Court of people from Arizona from this tiny little state. So 00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:14.327 Arizona is at the center. And then there are more cases involving Arizona 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:17.717 involving constitutional issues in the Supreme Court lately than any other 00:11:17.750 --> 00:11:21.297 state. I mean, I could there are years when there were three or four cases 00:11:21.330 --> 00:11:25.447 important cases involving Arizona where there that makes teaching both of 00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:28.967 these constitutional law courses more interesting. So yeah, you go back 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:32.937 and you say, hey, I'm from Arizona, we're kind of this cradle of disputes 00:11:32.970 --> 00:11:36.587 about the constitution and we're doing everybody a favor by raising all of 00:11:36.620 --> 00:11:40.106 these issues and you can laugh at us, but good things come out of it. So 00:11:40.139 --> 00:11:43.577 if you if you approach it that way, then they can't make fun of you 00:11:43.610 --> 00:11:51.610 because you've already made fun of you. So 00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:58.717 you want to go back to to Mr Cronkite for for a minute that the time that 00:11:58.750 --> 00:12:06.197 he gave to this institution over that it was more than his name. And uh in 00:12:06.230 --> 00:12:10.177 the early days as you will recall. I mean, he would come out a couple of 00:12:10.210 --> 00:12:15.917 times here. He always came for the luncheon And and would spend a day or 00:12:15.950 --> 00:12:23.726 two on campus uh visiting uh with students and he loved faculty members 00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:28.516 and uh employee. We would working hard, we would start with a breakfast 00:12:28.549 --> 00:12:32.467 somewhere in the morning and usually end up in somebody's house in Sun 00:12:32.500 --> 00:12:37.907 City at night. And I remember him drive and we drive back from some city 00:12:37.940 --> 00:12:41.467 at 10 o'clock at night. We always tried to protect him because those were 00:12:41.500 --> 00:12:45.837 long, long days and we always try, we put him in my office at Stoffer haul 00:12:45.870 --> 00:12:50.587 for a half hours at 12 30 to 1 o'clock or one o'clock to 1 30 so we could 00:12:50.620 --> 00:12:55.587 make some telephone calls or whatever before we went out and about. And we 00:12:55.620 --> 00:12:59.726 would always obviously respect that the door would be closed. And I fiddle 00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:05.067 around and so one day in particular, I I remember I came back and just a 00:13:05.100 --> 00:13:08.766 few minutes before 1 30 when we were gonna he was gonna go to a class down 00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:12.677 down the hallway. And so I was just standing there in the in the front 00:13:12.710 --> 00:13:19.896 office and uh and there was a a father and a son at the at the counter and 00:13:19.929 --> 00:13:23.157 a staff assistant was there providing them with, you know, some curriculum 00:13:23.190 --> 00:13:26.927 check sheets. So they were there to, you know, check on the program that 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:29.967 young man was thinking about. I think he was from Minnesota was thinking 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:37.016 about applying to a. S. U. In the in the Cronkite school. And so they were 00:13:37.049 --> 00:13:40.256 looking at the information and all of a sudden the door to my office 00:13:40.289 --> 00:13:46.766 opened and walter walks walks out, nods his head to the the young man and 00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.547 the and the dad and says to me, well I'm gonna run down the hallway to use 00:13:50.580 --> 00:13:54.307 the restroom, I'll be back in a couple of minutes and we can head to class. 00:13:54.340 --> 00:14:01.407 And, and and the dad looked at the sun and the sun looked at the, the, 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:08.707 the dad and the dad looked, it actually was uh lisa Coleman standing there. 00:14:08.740 --> 00:14:13.016 Uh it was a staff assistant in her office and and, and and said the lisa 00:14:13.049 --> 00:14:21.049 said is walter Cronkite on staff here 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:29.687 on the first day before classes, you have tables out of them, all their 00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:35.366 fraternity and sorority tables, their religious tables and And here I'm 00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:39.807 teaching modern social problems. And being from Michigan, the governor 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:45.526 when I was in the 60s was George Romney Mitt Romney's father and I knew uh 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:49.226 the Romney family was mormon. In fact, I think mitt Romney may have gone 00:14:49.259 --> 00:14:52.146 to the same elementary school, I went to Hampton because they were from 00:14:52.179 --> 00:14:57.907 the that well to do section across uh liver annoy Avenue was called. And 00:14:57.940 --> 00:15:02.417 the, so I knew about mormons, but I didn't know that Normans were referred 00:15:02.450 --> 00:15:07.297 to themselves as Latter day Saints. And I saw this table that said LDS on 00:15:07.330 --> 00:15:12.096 it. And so I went up and a young man there gave me the brochure and I 00:15:12.129 --> 00:15:16.557 thank you very much. I said, do you have something on cocaine and heroin 00:15:16.590 --> 00:15:21.516 too? I thought it was LSD of course. And I opened it up and I realized 00:15:21.549 --> 00:15:25.376 what I had done. I apologized right away. It was a terrible, so I told me 00:15:25.409 --> 00:15:29.327 and I said, this is not a good start, here it is. But but that was my 00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:31.690 first day.
